A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Chapter 86

Views:

Garlan, who was happily discussing his ideal pure and lovely little girlfriend with his guardian knight, naturally did not notice that someone was standing outside, and heard his words from the beginning to the end.

But even if he knew, he probably didn't care.

Which boy didn't secretly chat with his friends about the girl he liked when he was in love

There's nothing to be shy about telling your buddies and friends about your favorite type.

He was speaking here, and his knight listened very seriously, and took all his words to heart.

After all, Kaihos also had his own plans.

If King Camos really intends to choose a concubine for the prince, he will remind King Camos that he must choose a girl the prince likes.

As for Prince Heimos...

It can be seen that this prince is a person with strong self-awareness, and also does not like others to interfere in his own affairs. Probably because of this, when Prince Heimos was an adult, King Camos asked him for his opinion. After being rejected by Heimos, King Camos never mentioned the appointment of a betrothal partner for him again. matter.

Now, His Royal Highness Gallan will soon become an adult, and it is almost time.

To be honest, Kaihos always felt a little worried about Prince Heimos's attitude towards His Highness... But he couldn't say why... Anyway, he just felt a little weird.

But then again, don't worry too much, even if Priest Xie Muer mentioned this matter, I'm afraid there will be no results in a short time.

After all, the king Camos, who doted on his younger brother terribly, was definitely not willing to let an outsider take him away from the younger brother who was holding him in his palm and caring for him.

If it wasn't for the misunderstanding at the banquet that made Prince Heimos save His Highness a disaster... If that Tasda person really knelt down to court in public, King Camos would probably be furious on the spot. Although he won't be hacked to death because of his status as a Tasdar, it is still very possible to beat him up.

The blond knight who retired from Garland's room thought about various things like this, and thought about it for half a night, before falling asleep until late at night.

As the culprit, Garlan was heartless, thinking that since he couldn't intervene, he would have nothing to do with him, so he threw everything behind his head, and slept comfortably until dawn.

But soon, trouble came to him.

The night before he was about to return to the royal city, he was called into the courtyard by King Camos.

It was an open space in the courtyard, the ground was full of greenery, and there were only two scattered bluestone stone tables and chairs. Looking around, it was empty for more than ten meters, and everything was swept away at a glance, even the dense forest. is far.

King Camos' confidant guards the outside of the open field, not allowing anyone to approach this place.

In this open space, there is only King Kamos who is waiting for Gallan.

And, to bring Gallan here to Shemuel.

Garlan's heart was tight, and he probably guessed what King Camos wanted to say to him.

In fact, before he did such a thing, he knew that once it happened, Brother Wang and the others would definitely ask him after the incident.

The things he did, he couldn't hide from King Camos.

"When you suddenly proposed to go to Tasdar with the Tasdar mission, was it because you knew they would be attacked?"

King Camos opened his mouth and pointed to the key point.

The Lion King has never been a person who talks around the corners, and it is his style to go straight to the point.

Garland nodded.

He said, "Yes."

The orders he issued to the guards who escorted him, as long as King Camos asked, even if Heimos and Kaihos did not say, other knight commanders loyal to King Camos would definitely be 1510 To tell the brother Wang, he couldn't hide it at all.

Camos and Xi Muer looked at each other with a little puzzlement in their eyes.

In the past few days, after asking those who have experienced this in detail, King Camos came to a conclusion that surprised him.

—Garlan had long known that the Tarsdar mission would be attacked.

Why did Gallan know about something that Camos, the king of Aaronlandis, hadn't noticed

This is very strange.

After all, there was no trace of this matter before.

King Camos looked at the boy in front of him who was squinting and pursing his lips, and there was a bit of sullenness in his eyes.

"I don't care how you know about it."

He said his voice became severe.

"But now that you know it, why risk yourself?"

"To put yourself in danger knowing that there is danger - I don't recall teaching you that!"

There was a lot of anger in King Camos' voice.

But it wasn't his anger towards his brother who was hiding his anger, but the anger towards Garlan for putting himself in danger so easily.

"But, I said, you won't believe it, Brother Wang."

The boy who was reprimanded by him raised his head, opened his eyes and answered him, with a little innocence in his eyes.

Bright golden eyes, translucent as if reflecting the brilliance of the sun in the sky.

Seen by those eyes, Kamos's heart was full of anger and was weakened by three points.

He was a little depressed.

As long as he faces his little brother, no matter if he is justified or not, he will always be the one who loses in the end.

Probably the only one who can make the fearless Lion King retreat like this is the little guy in front of him.

The golden-brown pupils eased a little, and King Camos leaned slightly, stretched out his hands, and held his brother's shoulders.

"Gallan."

He and the boy looked at each other, and the lion king's eyes were especially serious and serious at this moment.

"You have to remember that you are the prince of Aaron Landis and my most important brother."

"To me, to Aaron Landis, you are irreplaceable, and your presence trumps everything in the world."

He says,

"Do you understand it?"

Garlan was stunned for a moment and looked at King Camos. He raised his hand and held King Camos' arm.

He also nodded earnestly.

"I see, Brother Wang."

He says,

"However, Brother Wang, the reason why I didn't tell you this is because I'm not sure if the attack will happen."

"I don't know if that's real or just a dream of mine."

Xie Muer next to him frowned.

"Dream?"

He repeated the word.

"Yes, this is something that the king doesn't know either, but I know it because I had such a dream." Garland said, "Because of a dream to do such a thing, maybe it's not a good idea for you and the king. It's ridiculous..."

He had that dream more than once.

The first time was a vague dream while resting in Heimos's room.

Later, when he returned to his residence, he dreamed again, and it was more clear.

"I fell asleep in my palace courtyard at noon that day because I was very sleepy."

"I dreamed that the Tasdar mission was attacked by horse thieves in the territory of Aaronlandis, and no one survived. General Tasdar, who lost his heir, was furious and attacked Aaronlandis. Brother Wang, you defeated and drove out, but since then, Aaron Landis and Tasda broke up and became mortal enemies..."

"This nightmare is so unsettling, I always feel like it's going to happen."

"However, because of one of my dreams, I can't ask you to forcibly escort the Tasda mission with the army."

Garlan glanced at Xie Muer.

"If I really did it at that time, whether it's you, Brother Wang, or Xie Mu'er, and others, they would think my actions were absurd, and you would never agree to me... No?"

King Camos thought for a while and had to admit that Gallan was right.

It is the practice of various countries to not send troops to follow the missions of other countries. Even in the name of escort, it will cause suspicion and vigilance in other countries. thing.

Even if he agreed, his subordinates such as Xie Muer would definitely stop him.

"But Brother Wang, I have a hunch that this dream of mine is very likely to be true. I can't say why, but that's how I feel."

Garlan stared at his brother without blinking, and said softly.

"The last time I felt this way was when I was very young, when Heimos almost had an accident."

King Camos was stunned.

Naturally, he still remembers what Garlan said.

If Garlan hadn't arrived in time to push Heimos away, the consequences would have been extremely tragic.

Maybe Heimos will be burned to death on the spot.

"At that time, the reason why I was able to get there just in time was because I had a dream that Heimos would be burned... Because it was too real, it was so real that I was very scared, so I ran to find Heimos, and it turned out to be true. That almost happened."

"At that time I was young, panicked and scared, and Heimos didn't really have an accident, so I didn't tell anyone about it."

"Later, I never had that kind of dream again, and I gradually forgot it. I just didn't expect that I had such a dream again not long ago."

Garlan said, his eyes fixed on King Camos.

"Brother Wang, do you believe what I said?"

Kamos reached out and touched Garlan's head.

"Um."

He hummed and nodded.

"It's not absurd, Garland, you've been proven right."

He smiled at Garland.

"You saved Heimos back then, and now you saved the Tasdars and Aaron Landis, you did a good job."

"I believe you are having such a dream because the gods of Aaron Landis are protecting you. So, Garland, if you have a similar dream next time, tell me, okay?"

Looking at the boy's obedient nodding, Camos' eyes softened.

He patted Garlan's head again and let him go.

After Garlan's figure disappeared, he turned around and looked at Xie Muer beside him.

"Garlan doesn't look like he's lying, but if so, what was that dream about?"

he asked his priest.

"If he often has such dreams, will it have a bad influence on him?"

"Your Majesty, I was thinking..."

The dream that the prince said was incomprehensible at first, but what King Camos said inadvertently just now moved Xie Muer's heart.

"The prince said he had a dream in the courtyard, so, do you remember? There is a statue of a god in the courtyard of Prince Garland's palace."

"Idol? Whose?"

"Isdar, the goddess of the stars."

"… "

King Camos' pupils shrank slightly.

Isdar, the goddess of stars, is also known as the goddess of luck.

She will bestow luck on those she loves.

And the reason why she gives people luck is because she holds the thread of fate and is in charge of fate. Legend has it that when she pulls the thread of destiny in her hand, the trajectory of the future will also change.

The priest of Shamash leaned over and knelt down on one knee in front of King Camos.

He raised his head and looked deeply at his king.

"Your Majesty, if you have really decided not to marry and have children in your life, then Prince Gallan may already be destined to be the future destiny of Aaron Landis."

He says,

"I know you are very reluctant, but for Aaron Landis, Prince Gallan's engagement partner must be decided as soon as possible."

"… I will think about it."

King Camos said angrily.

Garlan didn't know anything about the fact that he was about to have a betrothed.

After answering King Camos with the reason predicted in the dream, and the reason was approved by both the king and Ximul, Garlan breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought, if there are similar things in the future, there is no need to rack their brains to find any excuses.

And he wasn't lying.

He did have those dreams, of what would happen in the future in his past life.

The next day, he followed King Camos back to the royal city.

On the straight avenue of the royal city, the crowd gathered on both sides of the avenue, cheering to their king and the two young princes.

Garlan rode a steed like a cloud on the road slowly, and his long golden hair shone like gold in the sun.

From time to time, girls threw flowers on the road, and the sky was full of faint floral fragrance.

A goose-yellow flower happened to fall in front of him, and Garlan reached out to catch it subconsciously.

Looking up, I saw a young girl on the side of the road waving at him desperately, her face flushed with excitement. There were several girls next to her, laughing and laughing with her, and they were too excited.

Garland froze for a moment, then laughed.

It seems that he got the flowers that the girl threw.

I saw that under the sunlight, the beautiful young man riding a snow-white horse bowed his head slightly, as if sniffing the fragrance of the flower, and as if he kissed the soft petals with his lips.

Then, the prince with slightly curved golden eyes smiled at the girl, raised his hand and threw the flower back to the girl.

The young girl carefully caught the flower that was thrown back, she couldn't believe it and she was excited, and her face turned red for a while.

The people next to her looked at her with envious eyes, and when the team had passed far away, the group of young girls were still gathered together, looking at the flower, chatting excitedly.

It was just something Garlan made on a whim, but this scene fell into the eyes of Heimos, who was riding a reddish-brown horse not far away.

He didn't look at all, and out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the girl who was so happy holding flowers.

The girl's face still had some baby fat on her face and was a little round. At the moment, she was flushed red, and she smiled very cutely.

However, that cute smiling face made Heimos' eyes sank slightly.

His fingers holding the reins tightened a little, and he couldn't say why, his chest seemed to be blocked, and he was very stuffy.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of suffocation, and continued to walk forward with a calm expression.

In the evening, a small banquet was held in the Hall of the Sky Loft.

This hall was built in a special situation on the side of the palace, and it looked like a hall suspended in mid-air.

It is a huge platform that extends outwards. It seems to be suspended in the air, but there are actually inclined columns on the lower side to support it firmly in the air.

Half of the hall is exposed under the starry sky, and half is a gorgeous palace.

Skilled craftsmen ingeniously lifted the living water into the air, introduced it into it, and surrounded it with a small stream.

Green vines scattered from the edge of the suspended stone wall, dotted with scattered white flowers.

When the wind blows, the green vines sway gently with the wind.

And the small stream fell from the air at the end, falling layer by layer, forming a small waterfall that fell along the building.

This amazing sky loft is only accessible to those of sufficient standing.

It was already evening, and the garden-like attic was now brightly lit.

The news of the attack on the Tasda mission had already spread, and the nobles and ministers at the banquet were raving about the achievements of the two princes.

King Camos seemed to be in a good mood, and he kept drinking with a smile, and he never refused to come. He was a good drinker, and after drinking it for so long, his face was slightly red, and there was no sign of being drunk at all.

Garlan only drank a little and didn't continue. His alcohol intake was not good, and he usually didn't want to drink more, but fortunately, his status was noble, and no one dared to persuade him to drink.

But he successfully saved the Tasda mission and returned to the royal city. He was quite relaxed and drank a little more tonight.

This drink, although the person is still awake, but his thoughts are somewhat empty.

my favorite girl...

I hadn’t thought about such a thing before, but when Kaihos said that, Garlan’s thoughts couldn’t stop.

If he really wants to live a good life in this world, then he will definitely meet his beloved girl in the near future.

Although the noble girls in the royal city are also very beautiful, he always feels that there is something missing, which makes him unable to feel tempted.

Thinking about it, he squinted and smiled.

It doesn't matter, he has a hunch that when he travels to the mainland, he will meet a lover who will make his heart move.

At that time, they can be together for a lifetime.

This time, he will be able to live well, he will have a good taste of the beauty of love, and grow old with his beloved.

I just don't know if that girl will look like the one in his heart...

The young man with a dazed mind was swimming in the fantasy world. He couldn't help but giggle when he thought of the happy place. Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and a tall figure stood in front of him.

When he looked up, he saw Heimos standing in front of him.

"Was drunk?"

Heimos was on the seat next to him, keeping an eye on Garlan, and he couldn't help but come over when he saw him smirk just now.

Garland shook his head.

"It's a little dizzy, but it's okay."

He replied with a smirk.

The white cheeks of the young man who had been drinking were slightly flushed, and there was a layer of pink on his cheeks.

Heimos leaned slightly, stretched out his hand, and touched Garlan's forehead.

No fever, no sweating, it really doesn't look like drinking.

The skin that his fingertips touched was soft and soft to the touch, making him inexplicably reluctant to retract his hand.

But it's strange to keep it like this all the time, he can only withdraw his hand reluctantly.

However, the moment he withdrew his hand, Garlan seemed to suddenly remember something.

A tilted head.

Heimos's retracting fingertip touched Garlan's lips.

He felt his heart beat violently.

Almost forcibly holding back his expression without revealing any expression, he took his hand back.

So soft.

He thought to himself.

And Gallan, who was unaware of his thoughts, took out a snack box and handed it to him.

"Give you."

"what is this?"

Heimos took it, and when he opened it, a sweet smell came out.

Inside are some reddish-brown petals, as well as leaves, and lumps.

"The food I found when I went out with Tarr was candied petals and leaves, and some rhizomes... I don't know much about it, it's a local snack. Well, I bought some to taste, but for me It's a bit too sweet for me, I remember you like sweet food, so I'll give it to you~~"

Heimos glanced at Garlan, who was smiling happily at him, and directly picked up a reddish-brown candied petal and stuffed it into his mouth.

very sweet.

The mouth is full of sweet taste.

Heimos chewed the sweet taste in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the pink lips of the boy in front of him.

The fingers that took the candied petals were stained with reddish-brown marks, and he licked his fingertips with the tip of his tongue.

The sweetness on his fingertips dipped between his lips and teeth.

It was the finger he had just touched the boy's lips, and the fingertips seemed to still have the soft touch of the lips.

He remembered the kiss that the boy's lips gently fell on the goose yellow petals not long ago.

The petals are soft and fragrant.

However, those pink lips seemed softer than petals.

Even now, it exudes a more seductive fragrance than petals...

Heimos put down the snack box in his hand.

"You got something on your mouth," he said.

"Ah? Where?"

Garlan subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Not there."

Heimos leaned over.

With one hand on the table in front of Garlan, he bent down.

The other hand stretched over, and the fingertips pressed against Garlan's lips, and the pulp of the finger lightly stroked the lips a few times.

Garland looked up at him.

The boy was like a fawn with clear and innocent eyes, watching him without any defense.

The lips that were gently caressed by his fingers looked like a pink flower bud that was just beginning to bloom...

The soft touch came from the fingertips, almost tingling the back of the neck.

The little white tooth tips exposed between the slightly open lips were extremely alluring.

I want to hold the pink lips tightly, biting and sucking as much as I can.

He wanted to invade those slightly opened lips, and wantonly abused him in the depths, leaving behind his aura.

It must be sweeter than the candied petals in the mouth—

"Heimos, haven't you done it yet?"

Garlan's puzzled voice rang out, making him wake up from it.

Heimos took a deep breath and calmed the boiling blood in his body a little.

He took a deep look at Garlan again, letting the churning thing in his eyes settle down.

The scattered black hair fell in front of his eyes, making it impossible to see the dangerous look in his eyes.

"All right."

He said, take back his hand.

His face was calm, his expression calm.
